Graham 5-Apr-2007 [1246] | looks like this is a common problem |
btiffin 5-Apr-2007 [1247] | Yep. |
Graham 5-Apr-2007 [1248x2] | http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_43_9259.shtm |
seems it may be a config issue | |
btiffin 5-Apr-2007 [1250] | Good luck. |
Graham 5-Apr-2007 [1251x3] | thanks! |
Looks like I have to install gcc ... | |
crap .. now it can't resolve dependencies to install gcc. | |
btiffin 5-Apr-2007 [1254] | Does Fedora use rpm? |
Graham 5-Apr-2007 [1255] | use ... I think I need to click on the fc6 specific gcc package |
btiffin 5-Apr-2007 [1256] | To get all the dependencies (I don't use rpm - mistakes maybe) $ rpm -q --qf \ "[%{REQUIRENAME} %{REQUIREFLAGS:depflags} %{REQUIREVERSION}\n]" gcc |
Graham 5-Apr-2007 [1257] | Now the installer wants the c header files for my kernel. How do ordinary guys cope with this ?? |
btiffin 5-Apr-2007 [1258] | With lots of coffee |
Graham 5-Apr-2007 [1259] | Windows certainly does have advantages |
btiffin 5-Apr-2007 [1260] | Kernel rebuilds are great...you'll be able to puff out your chest when you are done. But. have you scoured google and the vmware site for patches? My first kernel rebuild was an all nighter. |
Graham 5-Apr-2007 [1261x4] | not yet .. i'm just running the vmware-tools-config.pl script |
and responding to what it needs. | |
it needs gcc, now installed. | |
now it needs kernel headers .. looking for those to install. | |
btiffin 5-Apr-2007 [1265x2] | Yeah...It can get funky - and very very particular. But once you're set up, you'll be king. |
Or insane, whatever comes first. Go for King. :) | |
Graham 5-Apr-2007 [1267x2] | all this just to set my time right! |
I'm going to leave a nasty comment to the person who uploaded this image! | |
btiffin 5-Apr-2007 [1269] | Under vmware/fedora - not the normal everyday config. :) |
Graham 5-Apr-2007 [1270] | found a how on source-forge |
btiffin 5-Apr-2007 [1271x2] | Nice. Good luck. |
Ahh, blows. It gets very very particular. | |
Graham 5-Apr-2007 [1273x2] | This is getting silly. I have to run a daytime server on windows 2003 server so that my cron job on the fedora side can read the time and then set the time. |
well, that seems to work though! | |
btiffin 5-Apr-2007 [1275x2] | :) Long live the King. |
Does the clock drift immediately after that? Or did you win. | |
Graham 5-Apr-2007 [1277x3] | well it drifts but I correct it every 2 minutes with my rebol script. |
forever [ if error? set/any 'err try [ d: read daytime://192.168.220.2 d: load d call rejoin [ "date -s " {"} d/month "/" d/day "/" d/year " " d/time {"} ] ][ print mold disarm err ] wait 0:02:00 ] ] | |
something along those lines | |
btiffin 6-Apr-2007 [1280] | Ok for now. I'd keep looking into though. Shocking the system clock every two minutes...hmmm. |
Graham 6-Apr-2007 [1281] | well I have to install the vmware tools .. but I can't recompile the kernel without the kernel headers and I can't find them yet. |
Henrik 6-Apr-2007 [1282] | http://www.stud.fit.vutbr.cz/~xcapmi00/etoile/<--- Étoilé is starting to look very interesting. Here's how they want it to work. |
btiffin 7-Apr-2007 [1283] | The insiders are pre-planning Debian etch release parties...woohoo! Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 If you haven't, you gotta. The only cost is time. |
btiffin 8-Apr-2007 [1284] | Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 Rev 0 Released! Happy Happy Easter. http://debian.org You gotta. |
Alan 8-Apr-2007 [1285x3] | damn I was there 1 hour ago and it wasn't ready yet.So I just reinstalled Mandriva,some thing happened to my home dir.First thing after a reboot;install View/Altme :) |
now to find to file that"hopefully" will get set-browser-path working | |
to=that | |
btiffin 8-Apr-2007 [1288x3] | Alan; I don't know the deets, but ask about DO-BROWSER, one of the gurus might know something... |
Alan does your Mandriva have a sensible-browser command? | |
If it does, we can get someone to update RAMBO ticket 3455 with this hint. | |
Alan 9-Apr-2007 [1291x2] | still kind of new to Mandriva-Linux if check and get back to you |
not right now,am doing some updates and hopefully that command will be there tried several commands I found on the net with no luck | |
btiffin 9-Apr-2007 [1293x2] | Alan; the sensible-browser seems to be a Debain branch feature. It's GPL so we can work that out. The hint I left for the RAMBO folk is to internally call sensible-browser. This won't work for us until RT does a build. Once/if that is done, we can talk/plan more, about documenting getting browse native functioning. In the meantime, try the browse: [url /only] call reform ["path to browser command" rejoin [{"} url {"}]] redef. If you know the switches for your browser, you can even code this to support /only. |
Debain is Debian | |
james_nak 9-Apr-2007 [1295] | Does anyone think that perhaps we may see a Rebol port to the Playstation 3? |
